Among the species spotted were common birds such as the Spotted Dove, Blue-tailed Bee-eater, and Yellow-vented Bulbul. The visit of the Javan Pond-Heron was a notable highlight, with five birds observed in the area.

Other birds sighted during the trip included the Lesser Coucal, heard in the distance, and the Visayan Tailorbird and Oriental Skylark, both heard only. The trip also brought sightings of the waders Barred Rail and Barred Buttonquail, as well as the Paddyfield Pipit.

In addition to these sightings, the observers also spotted a variety of smaller birds, including the Striated Grassbird, Pacific Swallow, Garden Sunbird, and Chestnut Munia. The Eurasian Tree Sparrow, with 30 individuals observed, was the most abundant species of the trip.

The evening walk took place under bright conditions, accompanied by the participants' dogs.
